Pine cone bonfire craft

“Remember remember the 5th November, Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot”

We are not celebrating bonfire night till tomorrow as Daddy does not get from home until late. So I thought this afternoon we could make lanterns - the little one didn’t want to - and so I had to think fast something we could make which she could enjoy and had relation to the events tomorrow. Cue a pine cone and wool roving.

Simply teasing wool roving and wrapping it around a pine cone then pulling it through the top makes a great bonfire. We made two for the table centrepiece. Afterward we went into the garden to collect some sticks for around the ‘fire’ and some plants for the background.

Our doll has a sparkler made by glueing a tiny amount of roving on the end of a stick and sprinkling with eco glitter, and the grasses which have gone to seed and ferns are simply stuck into some clay and hud under the play cloth to stand!

Lantern making tomorrow may be more successful. For now enjoy your celebrations today!
